The four-page article, “More than a Portfolio”, is an in-depth look at the Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) world and what makes Axis Purchasing different. GPO’s are growing in foodservice as more operators realize that lower pricing is available by joining large purchasing organizations. Many GPO’s are tied to a specific distributor and require operators to change their relationships.

The Axis business model is distributor neutral and allows foodservice operators to keep their current distributor, their current sales rep and existing direct agreements with favored manufacturers. In addition, Axis has a transparent pricing matrix that allows operators to see deals before committing to a switch. Finally, Axis has one of the lowest administrative fees in the industry and does not charge distributors to participate as many other GPO’s do.

The article highlights specific examples of savings and offers several testimonials from existing customers.

Foodservice operators that don’t belong to a GPO, are encouraged to read this article in order to research savings opportunities and learn new ways to operate in a rapidly changing environment.

About Us:
Axis Purchasing was founded in 2006 on a simple premise. Busy foodservice operators don’t have the time and resources to efficiently procure food and supplies, manage supplier relationships, and stay abreast of continuous changes in the marketplace. Axis found a way to handle those details for them while saving them money. A lot of money.

In fact, today our group purchasing power exceeds $19 billion. That leverage combined with distribution and operational expertise has enabled us to provide unmatched support—maximizing manufacturer rebates, reducing invoice costs, and providing up-to-date market and product insight. Put simply, we guarantee maximum value: the most efficient delivery of all the right products at the lowest cost, year after year.
